Student Administration With ear to the ground, the Student Council sincerely attempts to make the voice of Mr. John 0. Student Body clearly audible. The primary concern of the Council this year was the formulation of a well-knit but elastic constitution for the benefit of the future ' s offerings. Other innovations of major importance were the acquisition of new bleachers for the gymnasium, a tarpaulin for the gym floor and an official school Roll of Honor for the listing of the names of Olivet ' s serv- ice men. In its direction of the group life of the campus, the Council, with the president presiding, holds one chapel service during each week ; presents regular feature en- tertainment after dinner in the dining hall; and spon- sors formal dinner affairs.

Some of his many duties include the coordi- nation of student activity and administrative rulings, direction of all student employment, and sympathetic advising of Reserve men and Draftees. While these duties constitute some of his activity, his main effort is in relation to the scholastic standing of the college as an institution. As personal advisers to the men and women of the college, Deans Mildred E. Durigg and Ronald D. Jones are active in guiding the social life and solving the more intimate problems that arise. It is a well-known fact that Dean Jones is never too busy to assist anyone who is seeking counsel. He is a man whose genial spirit and frankness has won for him the confidence of the entire student body. Characterized by helpfulness and kindly understand- ing, Dean Durigg has one of the most difficult posi- tions in the college in that she is responsible for the welfare of all the girls in the dormitory. Also she fills the important position of dining hall hostess. Page Twenty-two
